Our Town Needs Its Planning Board
INTEREST IN THE ESTABLISHING of a
town planning board grew rapidly in official
circles within our town. Enthusiasm reached a
peak when it was felt expedient to invite an
experienced planner to speak in Clinton about
the planning of one of the businest 'townships
in the province.
Citizen attendance at this meeting was dis-
appointingly low, though the appearance of many
• township and town officials was encouraging.
Now it would seem to us quite possible
that the whole plan may be pushed to one side
again.
When the need for such a planning board
made itself felt the Mayor and his associates
:voiced their sympathy with and enthusiasm
for it. "The sooner we have a planning board
in action the better it will be,": Mayor W. J,
MYIIer asserted on several occasions.
But at'the July council meeting the matter
of planning the planning board was left until
late in the evening when all members of council
were eager to move adjournment.
This kind of action will not accomplish
much.
Certainly it was disheartening to see/ how
few Clintonians appeared to hear Reeve Crock-
ford of Scarborough give his address, We were
especially disappointed in the absence of ladies
from the audience. However, the fart remains
tobe do
that there is a jobdone.
One thing Reese Crockford made quite
plain was the slackness in the council both of
this year and in past years, shown by its failure
to provide and enforce certain by-laws to reg-
ulate building in prescribed areas, Any urban
municipality from the time it appoints its first
village trustees, throughout growth to a larger
municipality is entitled to guidance from its
elected men. The people are trusting those
men to do a job, In Clinton the council has
not done this job as well as it should be done.
We believe in Clinton and its future. But
that failure is in the hands of a few men now.
If they shirk their responsibilities, then living
in Clinton will be less pleasant than it could
and should be,
•
A planning board is an essential thing in
our growing Clinton. Surely there is no need.
to put off selecting men and women to go to
work on it?
"Packing Your. Car"
For The Holiday Minded
(D. R. CUTTS, Manager, Provincial Fish Hatchery, Southampton)
A FEW YEARS AGO you may remember
that all automobiles had running boards on
which motor campers could pack a lot of equip-
znent. It was not uncommon to see the doors
on the driver's side of the car completely block-
ed up with bags and bundles of all sorts, held
in position by a metal, clamp -on, running board
rack so they could not fall.
This handy (or unhandy) rack is now extinct,
as are the running boards, and new duffel places
have been found. Spacious trunks have been
added to modern cars but even these seldom
hold enough luggage for large families or per -
Sons taking long trips.
The newest handy gadget to be added to the
car camper's "must" list is the car roof rack.
These can be put on at home by following a
few simple instructions or if one is not so
mechanically inclined', a garage mechanic can
safely install it for you in a few minutes, giving
you ample storage space on your car roof for
light bulky articles such as tents, air mattresses,
sleeping bags and bundles of blankets or cloth-
ing. Your trunk can then be filled with the
heavier items such as grips, camp stoves, car re-
frigerators, outboard motors etc. leaving the
much needed interior space of your car solely
for the comfort of your passengers.
Luggage on the roof should be well lashed
down and covered with a tarpaulin to keep out
dust and rain. Tie this cover on well or it will
flap in the wind and become very annoying to
people riding with you.
A little common sense as to the weight the
roof will stand without buckling and how neatly
and 'conveniently it is packed will be a great
comfort and advantage to campers who usually
have .to take their families or friends on the
lannual holiday vacation squeezed right in among
bundles and packages piled high as the roof,
Ee 1ER of the BACK SHOP
We're celebrating an annivers-
ary. Just one year ago, this week,
as newspaper folk measure time,
your servant, this mouse, made
his first appearance on the print-
ed pages of The Home Paper with
the News. Yessir, just one year
ago to -day.
* * *
It was July 17, the day that
the 29th paper of the year was
printed in this very Back Shop.
Of course, to Humans, a year
may not seem a long time, but
to a mouse a lot of changes can
be made. We're happy to be
alive and still have the comfort
of the Back Shop at the Clinton
News -Record for a home.
:k * *
In our initial attempt at writing
prose, we went on at some length
upon the undesirability of cats in
general, and two, Pandora the
Persian and Cleopatra the Siam-
ese, in particular. At that time
we were glad to see them go, but
we must admit that for some time
last winter we were a little bit
lonesome without them. Then the
hugest big dark police, dog, and a
slim hound came to live in the
upstairs apartment, and we quak-
ed anew. We wondered then why
we had ever been sorry to have
the upstairs, clear of animals.
•
Now, there is the liveliest
:little brown clog, by the name of
Brownie, who lives upstairs, and
he must be right cute to any
People who see him. To us mice,
he seems a little overly confid-
end. and his bark seems worse
than anything: All right to say •
his bark may be worse than his
bite, but a mouse at the most
can only put up with one bite,
so he doesn't go around compar-
ing
the worth of bark versus
bite. Especially when he is quite
aware that a bark will cause no
bodily harm, while a bite would
be the end of everything.
x: * *
As we struggle over these bounc-
ing keys, getting off late copy as
usual, there is the tiniest wisp of
a pink cloud in the western sky.
Could be a hint for better weath-
er to -morrow, and certainly we
hope it's a little bit cooler.
• * *
Murdering Shakespeare, we
state, "This was the most un-
kindest cut of all, that it should
rain for Clinton Race Day." This
mouse himself was planning by
hook or by crook to get over to
the track for a few minutes that
afternoon, but really folks, even
if the Men had gone ahead with
their plans we would hardly
have made it down the back
alley this afternoon. So wet,
you. know.
* *
The hollyhocks are continuing to
bloom, and the vacant lot up the
street is a riot of colour. We
strolled down past the sports shop
the other day, and Ellwood has
the most gorgeous samples of
hollyhockdom we have yet seen.
Great tall stalks they are, reach-
ing almost to the top of the win-
dows, and cov�ere*d with blossom.
We don't get around town
very much these days, for really,
the fender of a car is not the
coolest place to be. Seems like
the metal just gathers up all the
heat and our feet are not as
rugged as some. However, we
sometimes get out in the cool of
the evening and see a bit of
what is going on.
* ,. *
Out in the back shop these days,
the heat isnothing short of ter-
rific, and the Men keep lighting
fires under metal pots, and run-
ning noisy presses, and using that
screechy new router, so that life
gets to be a bit of a bore. Some-
times Millicent `screams at me in
that far from loving wife tone
and threatens to go home to moth-
er. (She lived over at the bake-
shop though, so there is little to
choose as far as temperatures go.)
* * *
Millie is definitely on the side
of the Conservatives this week,
for she's so disappointed about
Hon. Lester B. p. earson not com-
ing to Clinton to speak. We're
not going to predict what she
will decide to vote come August
10. Likely as not we'll both be
overcome with (pardon the ex-
pression) perspiration, and not
be able to go to the polls. •This
mouse's enthusiasm for things
political has waned sharply with
the continued heat.

A triple drowning tragedy seem-
ed imminent in Bayfield Wednes-
day morning when Fred Pearce,
a young Torontonian, while bath-
ing off Jowett's beach got beyond
his depth and in his struggles
twice pulled down Miss • "Peggy')
McTaggart, a 16 -year-old Clinton
girl, who went to his rescue, be-
fore Graham Ross, of Goderlch,
almost exhausted, finally managed
to get a footing on bottom, and
dragged the drowning man and his
girl reseuer into -shallow water.
Pearce was taken ashore uncon-
scious and it took three-quarters
of an hour of work for men work-
ing in relays to bring him back to
life. Both of the rescuers were
badly exhausted when they reach-
ed the shore, but were at once tak-
en care of by a physician.
Quite a number witnessed the
affair and unstinted praise is be-
ing heard on every side for Miss
McTaggart, whose brave; attempt
to save the lift of the young man
so nearly resulted in the loss of
her own life. Graham Ross, al-
though only a boy in years, shot %

mettle which wins,
